The Lewis chess pieces remain one of the most famous, original designs of chess piece, with their history steeped in myth and legend. The highest quality Isle of Lewis chess sets are found right here at the Regency Chess Company, England.

In this set, larger size Isle of Lewis pieces are combined with a stunning black anegre gloss chess board.

If you are looking for a supremely high quality chess set that is different from the usual classic Staunton design then this set is perfect! The chessmen are very faithful reproductions of the original Isle of Lewis artefacts. They have been created from moulds that are precisely laser scanned from the originals, owned and brought to you by the National Museums of Scotland.

Given the majestic size of the pieces, they require a suitably grand chess board. This 24 inch (60cm) board is Spanish-made with beautiful deep blacks of anegre wood and a high gloss lacquer. It reflects the chessmen delightfully, making them seem almost weightless. A stunning chess set that is a marvel to behold and to play with.
